*Come Again?
In this little feature on the movie Shopgirl, a line jumped out and smacked me in the face:
"Shopgirl" has some very funny and charming moments. Most of these are provided by Schwartzman, whose part is somewhat of a modern equivalent to Jon Favreau's character in "Swingers"
(emphasis mine)
Modern equivalent? Modern?!
I'm not that freaking old that Swingers is going to show up on Turner Classics, am I? That's a movie from my mid-20s, for Pete's sake.

Swingers was 1996. 1996 was a long time ago. Heck, I wasn't even born in 1996.

Posted by: Pete at October 21, 2005 08:15 PMOne fine day in the car some 30-odd years ago my grandmother said, "These kids today love those Marx Brothers movies. I suppose they think of them as classics."
I suppose that if it happened after we turned 21, it'll always be new. Or newish, anyway.

Bitch.
